I like that when asked if trading stocks is like gambling, his response isn't "No, of course not!" it's "Well yeah, but it's more like Poker instead of Slots".

[crimsontranquility]

he looks like the finance bro version of mark zuckerberg lol

Biggest lesson i learnt in 2023 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and follow a strategy with a long term edge.

Need to keep in mind survivorship bias when watching this

This video indicates you don't need a high IQ to be a good investor, just 2 qualities, self discipline and a lot of patience. Investing is mostly about behavioural psychology. How can I generate more income to retire with at least $3m for long term care?

[Cevans]

Okay, am I losing my mind or does Lance's answer to the first question in the video have absolutely nothing to do with the actual question asked? Lmao.

94% of active fund managers fail to beat the returns of a low cost S&P 500 index fund

Fantastic video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own...I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated…... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing

[jopo]

This guy has a great presentation style.
He really seems invested.

I have a good one. Why Robinhood can disable the buy button to control volatility on the Market but don’t disable the sell button when is going down?

[RobbStonee]

I know at some point a bull market ends and a bear begins, it goes on and on... I have a 7 figure ballpark goal and I intend spreading across maybe 50k - 150k on plummeting stocks, my question is how can I know when a market bottom has been reached?

[jruthnam]

Oh dear. The title of this video should have definitely included the word “DAY” trader.

I'm surprised no one asked about trading against algorithms. There is literally no way to be the fastest (as he said, seconds count) when you're up against a literal algorithm. The computer's reaction time will always be faster than a person's.

It's a common misconception that when a stock you buy skyrockets, the smart thing to do is sell it (or at least sell some of it) to lock in your profits. But the context matters. If the stock has increased sharply because the business is performing exceptionally well, it could still be a bargain. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...

[gnomidomi]

Interesting when a day trader references buffett

[Hawkinz]

Lance is awesome! Always happy to share his knowledge and experience. Legend

[TheOneLanceB]

I’m biased, but this guy knows what he’s talking about 🥳👏

[jingthethief]

wonderful!! that was a fun learn! i hope there is a part 2.

[johnwatson]

Really appreciate your time and sharing your experience Lance! Well done as always!

[wrahttia]

A really important video for me. I had some experience that helped me lead to have prior knowledge of some of the answers, but this guy and wired really nailed it down with greater clarity and scope.
